robin, cleanliness or otherwise of water is not a specialist subject of mine, sorry

I'd tell you what I'd do as a mother though - I wouldn't bother boiling for a healthy baby of 8 mths. What a faff

I stopped using cooled boiled water at 12 mths (I just couldn't stop!)

yes, tap water in UK fine once they are 6 months.

tap water is fine for a drink after your lo is 6 months. It should still be boiled for formula.

When can I stop boiling tap water for my baby?
